It's also REALLY vulnerable to some of the most common pokemon in the metagame.

Marshadow utterly demolishes your team if equipped with Ice Punch. ALL of your pokemon are supereffectived: Tyran - Close Combat, Gengar - Shadow Sneak, Metagross - Spectral Theif, Khangaskan - Close Combat, Sala - Ice Punch.

Even without Ice Punch, Marshadow can cripple salamence via spectral theif.

Greninja is only outsped by gengar, and if it's an ash version, sweeps your team.

Tyran - Surf, Gengar - Dark Pulse, Metagross - Dark Pulse, Sala - Ice Beam.

Shell Smash cloyster demolishes your team since nothing resists Ice/Water attack combos and you won't be able to retaliate without any priority

CM lugia(which ISN'T EVEN THE VIABLE SET FOR IT) can set up calm mind after tyranitar is dead and sweep, same goes for Char X. Char X may even be able to EQ tyran on the first turn out. Im not sure but i think ice punch is a tutor move for marshadow so right now it cant get it
